Bindu, you asked whether there is really a jungle near by my home. Jungle is an exaggeration from my side to describe the slice of nature that we are ensconced in. But as you said this is a luxury that we enjoy right in the middle of a city. Different kinds of trees dot the place. I have mentioned in my earlier writing about the greenery which is a haven of birds, bees, squirrels etc. You have heard of plucking flowers but have you ever seen plucking jackfruits from the tree? This is possible at my place. Remember what a strenuous effort it was and still is, in our village. As a writer who researches mostly on travel, I have come across many exotic bird watching locations. Well, this place can be called a mini bird watching location. I have once spotted a peahen sitting on top of a building next to my home. There is a green but barren field nearby, where I take my kids for a walk at times. While writing about many holiday locations I have come across some interesting facts about certain places which I will share in my next writings.

Christmas Cheer This was my post during Christmas last year. This year we could get it published in newspaper thanks to Mr. Sanjay Samue...
You are really privileged and lucky. As a nostalgic person from a place where sun rises and sets without any prelude or any sort of 'provocation',and without being noticed by anyone, I could feel and enjoy everything you have described.
ReplyDeleteWhile your children go for a walk in the green fields my hapless ones have to be satisfied with the artificialities of shopping malls... I would like to begin my next blog here...
Keep on writing...
